C15 framing (1/2)
Deep in the night, in the Abyss of Non-Phase.
The bright moon cast a layer of frost on the ground. The higher it was, the stronger the wind. More than ten days ago, the three hundred people of the Violent Wind Gang had turned into ghosts.
On the side of the tall mountain wall stood a graceful figure. The white dress fluttered in the wind. Her silky black hair danced in the wind. She was an extremely beautiful woman with slender eyebrows and a pair of phoenix eyes that glittered like the stars.
”Who is that person?” The woman's red lips moved as she softly muttered.
A delicate and pretty young face flashed in his mind. At that time, the two were so close. The woman raised her phoenix eyes and a hint of chilliness came from them. Suddenly, there was a slight disturbance in the air. The next moment, the place was empty.
It was as if the woman had never existed in the future. The only thing that echoed in the Abyss of Non-Phase was the wailing wind that sounded like the ghosts of wronged souls.
Mystical Peak, a quiet mountain peak.
The night air was somewhat chilly, just like the people of this world. A few outer sect disciples were wandering in the night, talking and laughing with each other.
”Hey, Senior Brother Xue Chuan, I advise you not to hang yourself on a tree. There are many girls who like you since you are so outstanding! Why do you need to chase after Mei Ling and not let him go? ” The one who spoke was a slender young man with fair skin.
Amongst the few of them, Xue Chuan was among them. His eyebrows twitched as he sneered, ”Heh, you really think I'm an infatuated person? Let me tell you the truth, this Mei Ling is only one of my prey. Once she's caught by me, she'll just be thrown away like old clothes after I finish playing with her. ”
”Oh? ”Haha.” The few of them burst into laughter, each revealing a sinister expression.
”But that damned Mei Ling is really stubborn. I chased for so long and still haven't given up on me.”
”Don't be in such a hurry! There are a few women who are not interested in you, Senior Brother Xue Chuan, hehe. ” A man with slightly dark skin flattered him.
Xue Chuan was even more proud, it was true, within the outer sect disciples. He, Xue Chuan, was the strongest. After two months, he would become an inner disciple with a bright future. With such a young and talented person, it would be difficult for him not to be liked by women.
”Right, senior apprentice-brother.” The skinny man from before said, ”Senior Brother, how do you plan on dealing with that brat called Han Chen during the day?”
”Hmph, at that time, why did he still say 'I'll remember what happened today'? He truly doesn't know the meaning of the word.” We might as well go and kill him now. ” The tanned man suggested.
”No.” Xue Chuan shook his head, ”You can only kill people on the life and death arena. Not anywhere else. In another two months, the induction ceremony for inner disciples would begin. I don't want anything to go wrong at this juncture. ”
”Then Senior Brother is going to let him off just like that?”
”Of course not.” Xue Chuan laughed coldly, a ruthless look flashing past his eyes. ”I have an even more fun way to torture him, hehe.”
The next morning, in Han Chen's small courtyard.
Xin Lan, Xiao Wen, Little Monkey and Da Wei were also present. This was the first time that so many guests had come. Han Chen's mood was not bad. The unhappiness that happened yesterday was almost forgotten by him. Moreover, from now on, the word ”trash” no longer belonged to him. The way everyone looked at him also clearly changed.
”Xin Lan, are your injuries alright?” Han Chen asked.
”Nope.” Xin Lan smiled, a ripple could be seen in his eyes, and unexpectedly, he did not dare look the other party in the eye.
The five of them sat around a table as Han Chen poured tea for the four of them. Xiao Wen clapped his small hands and laughed, ”Han Chen, your performance yesterday was so impressive, you are truly amazing.”
”That's right, especially after seeing you beat Li Yuan up to that extent. My heart almost jumped out of my chest.” Big Wei smiled in agreement.
Han Chen only laughed it off. To be honest, he was not someone who liked to compete with others. However, Li Yuan had gone too far, seizing his Body Refinement Pellet was one thing. They had even made a move on a girl like Xin Lan. If it was Da Wei or the little monkey, they would also be unable to hold themselves back.
”Han Chen, you can even beat Li Yuan. This time, you can definitely be selected as a new disciple. ” The little monkey said.
These few days, the matter of the inner disciples being elected was a topic for the outer disciples. Every year, Mystical Peak would elect two hundred outstanding disciples from the thousands of outer sect disciples to enter the inner sect.
There was no doubt that Xue Chuan, Mei Ling and the others were at the Qi Refining stage. Even those at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage had quite a chance. As for those below Tempered Body 8th Layer, there was basically no hope. Unless that person's innate divine ability was very strong.
”Maybe!” Han Chen laughed, then asked back, ”What about you? Do you have confidence to be selected as an inner disciple? ”
The few of them looked at each other. Xiao Wen's expression was somewhat gloomy as he said, ”Big Sister Xin Lan, Little Monkey, your might should have a chance of breaking through to the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering within two months. ”As for me …”
Xiao Wen's voice became softer and softer, like a mosquito.
”Not necessarily.” Xin Lan held onto her small hand and comforted her, ”It's not only us who got the Body Refinement Pellet, other people also have it. Out of the several thousand outer court disciples, there are only two hundred spots. This probability is really too small. ”
”It's alright, Xiao Wen.” ”Even if I can't become an inner disciple this year, there will still be a year left!” We'll definitely have a share next year. ”
